Django, I'm Blake, by the way. I think we've done stand-up together before. Oh, cool. Nice to meet. Where did we do it, remember? Either in L.A. or New York or somewhere, yeah. Sounds likely. Yeah, one of the big ones.

You talk to talk. One of the two mecas. Story checks out. Yeah, yeah. L.A. Spoken like a true insider. That's right. I know all the rooms.

I spoke like a true insider. All right, guys. Who are you guys? The left factory store. Who are you guys? The podcast has changed Lelsis last time I was on it. It's not pretty much a guy's podcast. This is the bones of it.

Remember when Lundy Bruce was. Yeah. That's my guy. All right. Lenny. Bruce. Lenny Clark. Dr.

Katz. Dr. Katz. Homer Simpson. Jimmy Tingle. I only know Boston comedians from the 80s. Jimmy Tingle. Can't let anything else then, man. That's how I sharpen my weapon.

Just by just watching Boston. comedians. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Is everyone recording on there? Oh, yeah. Oh, you betcha.

You betcha. Yep. Jack, are you chewing gum? I can't tell. You know it. Okay. Good, right? Can you cut that shit out, please?

Sounds good. Are you chewing gum? Keep doing it. You dickhead. Dealer's choice. Yeah. That was so nice of them to compliment my gum chewing right before we started record.

I don't think that's what he was doing. Read that signal loud and clear. Yeah. Pops more gum. You are 10.4. Should I add another? I should add another one. I should get a couple pieces.

Those early iterations of quench gum, like that gatorade gum, it would make you salivate like a fucking maniac. Yeah. And I think that that was to infer that you were being, your thirst was being clenched. But anatomically, they're just sucking water out of your body in your mouth. putting it into your mouth. Yeah. It sounds like a class, class action coming down the pipe,

the pipe on that one. Can we get started on that? People be quench. People be quench. That gum was the greatest fall off in the history of gum or any product, maybe, where you put it in your mouth and you're like, this is a revolution

that is happening inside my mouth. This is so good. It's drawing. So it's wonderful. and then it like turned into like tire rubber within two minutes. It took and it took. A lot of families. The only gum that robs you of your essence, quench.

It's a podcast we take a deep dive into American's share consciousness through the day's news. We also have a new non-news history version of the Daily Zykeyes dropping each Monday morning

called the iconograph. We've recently done Helen Keller, Weird Al. We just did a rerun of Tupac, and we got Madonna coming up on Monday, and we're about to record one. And Greg Gutfeld, we're about to record one

with today's guest co-hosts. Yeah. My request. It's Garfield, but I, I did put an exclamation point when I sent it. And so he assumed that it was gut. We were doing gut-filled.

Yeah. So you got to scramble on your research. This is all shit. Anyways, those are the episodes on Monday morning with Icon in the title. And, you know, we don't talk about the news. So it can be a little bit less depressing. And it's evergreen. So you can go back and listen to them whenever you'd like.

Right now, here, though, it is Wednesday, August 19th, 2020. And we are going to be talking about the news. My name is Jack O'Brien, aka. All right, this is the Ellison guy doing Till I Collapse from a... Sure. I love movies. I got a list. Here's the order of the list that it's in.

It goes Star Lords, Rocky, Top Gun, and E.T. Edward from Twilight, AirBletfest 5, Ted, and Bambi. But in this industry, I just buy and control the IP. So if I call Star Lords, Star Trek, this shit. It does not offend me. That's why you see me walk around like no one's taxing on me. Even though half the working class has got no housing money. You hate it, but you, the merger, you got to give me a billionaire's wet dream like money and kiddies.

Daddy hit me. That one, courtesy of Han to me in the Discord. Uh, in reference to what, which is, what's that? Nice job, Jack. Thank, thank you. That was hard. David Ellison? David Ellis.

I only know. I, when people say the Ellison family, I, I say, Ralph Waldo? No, no, no, no, no. I'm a high culture. But, yeah, him trying to take over the industry and saying, don't worry, I'm a film buff. I love movies. Top Gun, E.T. Ted.

Yeah. All the properties. But that was a good one. Han Chilme in the Discord. Shout out to you. I think that might be the first time that you've submitted. a one or I've done one that you've submitted and it was very good. So thank, thank you.

In our second seat, throw to be joined by a brilliant comedian writer, actor, whose special Daddy Longlegs is available on YouTube, a must watch. He's a must follow. It's Blake Waxler! Wow, this is Blake Waxler, aka. Blake lies and says the big man's gone. Can't find the fetter man. He was elected blue.

Now he's a conservative pawn. What the fuck Federman? That was from Snarfula. Shout out of the Snarfula. The snarf dog. I went to Emerson College and I was positive. It was named after Ralph Waldo Emerson. And it turns out it's just a guy.

It's just a guy with us. Which is so much better. He bought the rights to Ralph Waldo Emerson's work. That's my name now. Yeah. He shrubbed. He's shredding the books. Cutting the spines off.

A.I. I can learn from it. Thank you. And we really need to be grateful that they're doing that for us. Yeah. You know? Because they're going to sell it back to it. It'll be like water that just comes that we can just pay for.

Oh, yeah. We're also going to make you pay for water. We're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a very funny stand-up comedian, writer out of New York City. Who's written for The Onion? Colbert. You can see a stand-up special on his YouTube channel, Django Industries. It's Django Gold!

Hello! Hello. I did not get my song parody. I thought we all would get a cool song parody. It was actually just slid under your door. Oh, fuck on. Yeah, I've opened my mailbox in like a month, so it's probably a lot of little sessions from there. It's all bills.

Bills and free CDs, presumably, as we talk about later on. media. Django, we're thrilled to have you here. We're going to get to know you a little bit better. Thank you, having it. First, we're going to tell the listeners a few of the things we're talking about today. It's a good idea.

We're going to check in on a couple. There's two news stories that we've talked about related to polling that it turns out are fake. Turns out you can just make shit up. So there was a poll we referenced yesterday where despite her family, Filling in a potholes video, Karen Bass was allegedly up double digits on Nitya Rahman

in the L.A. Mayors race. And then there was also that big shock where Francesca Hong lost in Wisconsin, even though a poll came out right before the election saying she was up 20 points. Both of those polls are fake. We're just like, and not even, they're like, oh, yeah, no, sorry, we were making that up.

So we'll talk about that. We will check in with a story that I feel like they have to be turning into a movie as we speak. A Penn State fraternity was like running a massive cocaine distribution operation. Yeah, we were.

So, yeah, brother. His name's not Blake for nothing, you know? That's right, brother. So we'll talk about that. And we will say a fond rest in piss to Columbia House Records, the Columbia House Company, which apparently just,

declared that they're like ceasing operations which I don't know are you guys too young to have partaken in Colombia? I remember those little mailers you'd get 17 CDs for a penny and all that 17 CDs for a penny yeah cut down in their prime

exactly it's like the most just out of out of it like it's like somebody coming out and being like well I feel like I've overstayed my welcome yeah at 7 p.m. You thought they had left.

Yeah, you thought they had left two weeks ago. You're like, what the... What the fuck did you call on? Yeah. Columbia would just send you Spotify links and charge you for them. Right. Is that their business model at this point?

Basically. All of that, plenty more. But first, Janko, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Absolutely. The thing I searched the other day is, does a house plant need to be upright?

Because I have this huge, beautiful monster in my living room that fell over the other day and I can't get it like, you know, 90 degrees. And I'm wondering, like, you know, if you go to the jungle, those plants grow every which way. Yeah. And I'm curious, can I just let it do its own thing or do I need to try to rain in nature

and get some stakes and get it going just, you know, straight up? So these houseplants have had it too good for too long. Yeah. I mean, I could actually, I can show it to you now if you want. God, I want to see that. It's kind of like. Oh, that is a nice plan. It's a huge monster that my mom gave to me, but it's kind of like up against the wall now.

Yeah. It's kind of, it's, yeah, I'm just a little worried about it. This thing looks like it's got a mind of its own. Yeah, I feel like it should just let it do its thing. And I also don't want to, like, break it, you know, like, sure. By like trying to force it upward. Yeah. So my hunch is just to keep it, keep it where it is.

But we'll see what the plant people on the internet have to say. Can house plant do its own thing? Yeah. Question mark. That plant is 17 times bigger than I thought it would be, by the way. It's humongous. My mom grew up for like four years. Then she moved and she couldn't take it.

So now it's like my legacy plan. I must keep alive for mother. For listeners, Jengel just showed us something that's the size of the tree from Avatar. It's growing in the middle of his house. Yeah. Burst through the ceiling. It's really edging me out of my small Brooklyn apartment right now. The apartment is the plants now.

It belongs to the Monsterra. Have you seen the movie Plant Man? There's a new comedy movie. I haven't seen Avatar. Plant Man and Blondie, I highly recommend if you haven't. It's a good movie about plants and plant keep. And just a funny comedy movie. Django, what's something you think is underrated?

So I'm a big park hang guy. I love hanging in the park, either with friends or solo. And for years, I've had a nice little picnic blanket, which you've got to have. But I've recently increased my apparatus. I now have blow up and play with a picnic pillows. Wow. Nice. $5 pillows I score on Amazon.

Total game changer. The difference between lying on a blanket with no head support and a little bit of head support. God. It's just idyllic. It's the best. People are really impressed when you whip them out. And you can blow them up and then you, you know, de-inflate them when you're done. It's the best thing in the world.

So get you a man who can do both. And you're that man. I'm so impressed by that. That's so smart. Because to your point, you're not walking around with full pillows with you. No, no. You're walking around little scrunched up things. Yeah.

That's awesome. It's great. Yeah. And this is not something that goes under the whole blet. It's just for the head. Yeah, yeah. You toss them around, they're like, you know, kind of like materials. They can get dirty. That doesn't really matter. It is. It's basically a mini-air mattress, yeah. They're great. We have one for the camping that like goes under your whole sleeping bag for the

camping. Oh, yeah, yeah. They're great. They do end up taking me like a half hour to pump because it's like got the foot pump. Right, right. I do it. So, but I inflatable, inflatable furniture, inflatable things, I feel like definitely underrated. Absolutely. My friends and I had a, our like hangout room had an inflatable

bud light couch that we was our only couch in that room for an entire year. Just, just, just, no, it's fun. Don't sit on with your keys in your pocket or else your friend. or else your furniture is just kaput.

Yeah, you'd wake up the next morning and, like, you would be on the ground and the person next day. I mean, that's like the common side effect with those air mattress. It's like, oh, this is great. And, you know, the next thing, you know, it's 3 a.m.

and you're, you know, right on the hardwood. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, within reason. But I do, I do feel like the camping world is a little bit ahead of us in the inflatable, in the inflatable arts. Yeah.

A whole inflatable civilization out there We do work our little day jobs That is actually one of the avatar civilizations That it's going to be So they're on water, fire And then they have the inflatable Yeah, yeah It's going to be gas

But it's just inflatable It's just inflatable Welcome to the world of gas This is where you're going with gas I don't know why I keep making avatar I think I've made that specific joke About a different thing before It's your one move

Yeah. You have no other moves. Pizza. What if it was an avatar pizza planet? What if they were the pizza people? What's something you think is overrated, Django? Oh, man. I'm going to bring the hammer down.

People who have private Instagram profiles. What are you trying to prove at this point? We've lost the privacy battle. Flop cameras are analyzing our walking mechanics. It's done. Just let us see your beach photos, mostly women. Yes, mostly. 61% women.

Yeah, I mean, it's just like, I mean, I get the impulse. I get everyone, you know, be away, but I think that's just, that's done. We're all citizens of the virtual world now. I was doing it for a while because of kids. And then I recently just gave up. I was like, being able to share my podcast clips is more important than the privacy of my child face. But you can still do the emotion thing over your kids' faces. Yeah, we don't

we're not going to do that. That sounds like a lot of work. Time is money. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But yeah, you could put that AstraZeneca logo over your kids' faces. You start selling ad space on your children. That would actually be not bad. That's a really good.

Sponsored my son. For once. That's actually going to be my whole thing. You can replace this whole body with it. Yeah, that's really. It's like True. Like a NASCAR car car. Yeah, as many logos as possible. I used to be that way with like biometrics where, you know, like face ID or like when

traveling, you know, like that sort of thing. We're like, oh, I don't want them to have access, like to opt in to any of these things. It's like, what do I, what do they not have that? What did a Google car not get that, like pick that off me, you know, 12 years ago or whatever? Yeah. I've totally done a 180 on it too. Yeah. Yeah, we just did a story about how McDonald's, the McDonald's app is, has like a 500-page dossier, like, wired, like, did a head, had one of their reporters who, like, uses the McDonald's app reach out.

And they were like, what do you got on me? And they sent them, like, a Bible of information. And on the one hand, like, in theory, like, I don't like that. That's fucked up. On the other hand, I had the decision. I had the decision. yesterday, Nike was having a sale and all my socks have holes in them. And I was like, I need to go big on some Nike socks. And to access the sale, I needed to download the Nike app, or at least that's what I thought. And so I immediately downloaded it. I was like, I don't get, what the fuck's Nike going to do with this information that like they, they have my mom and pop shop. Yeah, compared to McDonald's. It's fine. Tini. Yeah.

Yeah, we really, I feel like there was a period up until like, say, the pandemic, we're really fighting the good fight. No more privacy intrusions. And it's just, we've just rolled over like little puppy dogs, fortunately. I just feel like with with a big corporation like Nike, like they're not going to sell it. Are they? Listener, tell me. Like, are they going to sell it to.

Yeah, they make enough money. They don't need to make more money. And usually corporations are like, we have enough money. Yes. They're really good at drawing that line. I mean, we have enough money. It might trade it with other corporations. I can see with that.

They're using our data like, you know, magic the gathering cards or something. Right. So if Nike and Microsoft wanted to a swap, you know, the age benefit. Yeah, eventually it's all just going to be out there. They're going to own us.

And that's fine as long as I have Nike socks for 19% off. Yeah. Hell yeah. Yeah. Super producer, Catherine, is pointing out that the, terms of service agreements at places like Disney are like, and also if we kill your family, uh,

you actually can't sue us. Yeah. I knew what I was getting into when I went to that park. Yeah. There's something like, they're like, drag a corpse out of the parking lot so you don't die there. Is that still part of the Disney family promotion?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Part of the magical experience. Yeah. The body carts is like one of the, the things that they just have on stuff. Yeah, goofy shoveling you out.

I do realize now, because Catherine is pointing out that it's like facial recognition stuff, and I did give Nike access to my face. I was like, oh, this, it would be much easier if I could just allow them to face scan me in instead of having to remember. You're going to see a billboard in a couple weeks with use. Slam down go over LeBron. Yeah. Hey, Jen.

When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and held captive for nine months. months. I survived, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the survivor files. I just remember this low, taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them.

There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, this is Hayes, Davenport. And Sean Clements. We host the podcast Hollywood Handbook on the Big Money Players Network. Our show is extremely accessible to first-time listeners. Each week, we talk to someone in show business, aka the biz, and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us.

Everyone has a good time, and no one gets mad at their publicist for letting them do our show. We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman. Actually, can you help me shape this? How about we flip it on his head, right? How about we flip this around? What is the surprise woman? Actually, you think is the straight man is actually the one who's acting weird. Adam Scott, this entire time you've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to visit the show.

I would never expect. I would never set expectations for something like that to happen. If the universe allows for something like that to happen, I'm open to it. I'm always going to accept. You know, Danny McBride, fine. Yeah, it's all this fragile masculinity. Exuding. I could smell it walking down the hallway, to be honest with you.

I was like, is that weed? Nope, it's fragile masculinity. Ben Stiller, no. Because a lot of times, out of context, people don't get it or even know what a circle is. You know what I mean? They're like, oh, they're like, oh, what's a state. Everyone's so dumb. And fake.

Right, fake and also not interested. or just like, oh, I've got my life. I don't care about your life. And a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Oh, and by the way, Will Ferrell told us personally he loves the show and he wants to be a guest on every episode, but he's just so busy. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.

And, yeah, apparently you can just make shit up now without any consequences. This is, I guess we knew that. Right, like the media is broken. And so you could just come up with a realistic-sounding enough organization, and it will, like, power multiple news stories. So Median Strategies was conducting a polling project that was just them putting out poll results that had no, like they hadn't conducted polls.

They're just making it up. They said, so median strategies has concluded its, when they got called on this, they said, Median Strategies has concluded its polling project and will not publish additional polls. All previously published polling releases have been withdrawn and should not be cited or treated as genuine polling data. Median Strategies was created as a short-term social experiment examining how purported polling information could enter and spread through the political information ecosystem without independent verification.

What a piece of shit. It was a social experiment that we were doing. It's all a social experiment. It's a bad one. This is all a really bad social experiment. And this was us just proving society is bad. Like, we didn't know that. That's always the worst possible cop out.

I was like, we're all to blame. Yeah. Can you see? Take a look in the mirror. Can you believe that society would lead me to this path? Right. Turns out the answer to the question is how to the question of like how would the political information ecosystem deal with this is they would spread it around very fast. So the two polls that are getting the majority of attention at this point is a poll saying that Karen Bass was up double digits, which we talked about in the context of Karen Bass posting a video on social media where she was like, she liked, so we can.

understand she has seen what Zoran is doing in New York, that he's fixing potholes like a hundred a day. His team's like going out there. People are like, I have a pothole. And they're like, we're already there. And that pothole is being fixed. Look at that. Like a fucking magic trick.

And she's like, well, that seems easy enough. And so she posted a video where she was like, we hear you. We've seen that you reported this podcast. and we brought this whole team out here. Unfortunately, there was an illegally parked car over the pothole. So, but we're trying. We're trying out here.

A big part of solving a problem is acknowledging you have a problem. Acknowledging. And if you have time after that, some other things. But the acknowledgement is the main thing. But, uh. Also, don't post that video. If the video didn't work out the way that you wanted it to work out. That's the best.

shove it up your heads. That's the most amazing thing. We're like, well, we're not going to do this again. That's the thing that's like lost on them is that like this is happening a hundred times a day in the Mondon administration. We've got to 45 minutes on the shoe. Yeah. That is a sunk cost.

We got to save that. Do you have any idea how much shit I have to do today? I have meetings with like 3,000 corporations. She did post the poll. with the words doing the work, showing up and gaining momentum. Let's do this, LA. And then it has to take it down.

Yeah, failing is a big part of work. I mean, that's true. But it's only uplifting if she comes back again, again, again, until the pothole is fixed. Yes. Showing up is what she wants credit for on that. Yeah. But anyways, the other poll,

like the one that's really surprised to me is that, like, the Wisconsin race where, like, A huge part of the story was, wow, the DSA had a 20-point lead. Like, there's this massive polling error. How did this happen where the super progressive candidate Francesca Hung was up 20 points right before her election and then she lost, like, barely? And that, like, it was just a poll that they made.

The 20 points was just a poll they made up. By the way, the social experiment is presumably just trying to make as much money on Cal she as possible. Like that, that seems to be the experiment that they're probably doing. That's a good, that's a good fucking idea. I'm sorry. Right. That is pretty genius to manipulate the market like that. Yeah, Jango polling solutions determined that Barack Obama is probably the Democratic nominee. Yeah. We actually have some statements from him that we just made up, but you don't know that. A.I. Video Obama, I decided to run for a third term. Oh, man.

Let's get that out there. Let's get that out there. TDZ polling. TDZ polling is, it could be our future. Yeah, you actually have more verticals. I want to see an energy drink from you guys.

Yeah, Django and I were talking about this before the show. You have so few verticals on this show that it's pretty much. Humillion, yeah. It's tough. Podcasting is obviously the core competency, but I'm taking footwear,

they sponsor some kind of K-pop band. Really. Yeah. I mean, Like, podcasts do have their own podcasts. Like, that is probably the strategy. Like, if you worked with like a really, like, on it, a podcasting company, I feel like they are always, like, putting out beers, putting out energy drinks like that.

That is an excellent. Yeah. A cruise. A cruise is a new one. It's done. Yeah. There's like three or four of them that have cruises. Oh, yeah.

At least. Podcasting cruises, or you just watch a live podcast on a. the deck of a ship every day. Yeah. Yeah. There are. I'm not even kidding. There really are.

That's rough. That's a rough way to spend $2,000. That's rough seas. Yeah. We'll see. Maybe it's a great way to send it. Spend it. And maybe we'll do one one time because that could be fun.

All right. Let's talk about the legs of your listeners, Jack, that would be on this cruise. These pale legs wandering around of these like gang listeners. We do. Create a lot of content. Doesn't leave a lot of room for going outside and doing stuff. Yeah, it makes sense. Although, you know, you can listen to this show and go mow the lawn.

You don't really need to hear the show to listen to it and enjoy it. We encourage our listeners not to hear the show just to like, you know, press play and leave the room, if possible. Let's talk about Penn State. Penn State University. Hey, here's a cheerful scandal for a change. Yeah, this is a fun one. Right? I do just want to say thank you to the people of Penn State.

I'd always heard Penn State was like a party school. I did not know how seriously they were taking that phrase. You know, sometimes when people say, do you party? They mean like, do you like drink beer? And sometimes they mean running a cocaine empire. Yeah. In this case. So Pennsylvania's attorney general is charging 14 people with cocaine trafficking.

13 of the 14 are students or were students at Penn State's University Park campus, like the main one during the time of the investigation, which was 20, 2020, 23 to 24. And then the other person was one of the students' dad who allegedly also tried to obstruct the investigation, which is pretty. Classic nepo baby drug dealers. I know. I know. Working class guys like me and you, we can't get a break.

Nobody wants to sell anymore. Yeah. And like, we all knew. like college drug dealers, but like they were moving kilos of cocaine. They were moving so, like so much drugs.

That's too much drugs, I would say. It's quite an appetite that's part of the underclassmen. I know, right? I mean, I assume they were just selling it to other students, but. If you thought Happy Valley was happy before, wait until you see it loaded up on cocaine.

If you think about it too, like the demographic of those student, like, that's the place to do it. Oh, yeah. You know? It's not even impressive really what they did is what I'm saying. I'm kind of insulting them where anyone could have done this. Right.

Yeah. The average is definitely going to be there. I didn't think they had cocaine money at like, I don't know. Like, I feel like you go to the ivies for like the very rich people to like have the cocaine money. But I guess there's rich people everywhere. Yeah. Yeah.

Like I don't, I never saw cocaine through. graduating college, but like people I know who hung out with like richer people in college were like, oh yeah, cocaine was everywhere. And I was like,

I wasn't, didn't know that cocaine was everywhere. Hell yeah. All right. When I was a doorman at the comedy store in the 80s, it was like you couldn't even fucking walk anywhere.

Sorry, I was going back to the thing for earlier. Sharpening your instrument. Sharpening my instrument. Yeah. So these kids, kids got expelled.

He still picked up a bag. or what? Delta, this is kind of impressive. Delta Upsilon is one of them that's implicated is on suspension while Sigma Kai isn't recognized as a frat by the university, so they were just kind of

like a cocaine operation. The median strategies, the fraternities, you can just call yourself a frat, you're a frat. Yeah, yeah, you just have a frat or a trap house that you like nail some letters outside of. Alpha, yellow, The AG said the cocaine was packaged mostly at Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi fraternity houses.

Packaging was done by fraternity brothers and oftentimes pledges. In fact, we found a pattern of events that showed cutting and bagging cocaine was for some pledges an indoctrination into the Delta Upsilon and Sigma Kye fraternities. So it's just like those like crazy bagging rooms from drug dealing monies where it's like a bunch of, you know, naked women doing the. cocaine bagging, but it's just like, college freshman. Yeah. College freshman. How are you making us do this?

And then a little shower flip-flops. Yeah. Were those the worst? Just weren't protecting your feet from whatever horrendous fungus was in those showers. Especially because I would lose one always. And then just walk in there. Fucking

trope-dogging it. Yeah. Stand on one like a surfboard. Oh, yeah. I actually do remember doing that. That's crazy. So gross. Your big toes on both feet are through the thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just hopping with it. Smart. Anyways, that's a lot of cocaine. Penn State. My hat's off to you as a party college. Like, I remember, do you remember they used to, like, do those surveys or, like, the number one party college in America?

I think it was Maxim Magazine did those surveys. But like they've been working. They've been behind the scenes putting in the work to be the number one person. Arizona State will not win this for a 10th year in a row. Yeah, I think once there's a DA investigation

you automatically get to one spot. Yeah. I'm impressed. Snow paterno. How about that? Hey. Is that a good name for a rapper? Snow paterno. I think that's no. Snow paterno is really good. God, that's good. That'd be so cool

that fucking rural Pennsylvania rapper in Snow Terno Oh my God What was Sandus? I'm trying to think about Jerry Sandsky Yeah I was trying to think of Dusty San Dasty That's not bad at all

Yeah Snow Paterno and Jerry Sandusty Dusty The implication be, like, probably not the thing, the number one thing that cocaine rappers want to be associated with. The first ever cocaine slash child molestation rap theme combined. Yes, not a great comedy. They don't lean into that crime.

Like, they lean into the, right? Yeah. I don't know about this fucking. I don't want to deal with this guy. This guy is scary. I will give him that. He is scary. They have to be.

Snow paternal. Snow petona is so good. That's good. Oh, God. That's good. Print it. Yeah. Print it.

I am assuming this is being made into a movie right now. Yeah. That will suck. Also, I do just have to shout out because Apolli submitted this story for us. And she said, made a good point. Ices out here, scapegoating immigrants for the U.S. drug trafficking problem. Meanwhile, it's Kyle and Blake's favorite extracurricular hobby. What the fuck was that about?

I think your name was the stand-in for a fraternity brother. I don't know what's worse. If I was the one, like if she meant Blake Wexler or if possible actually just a duke over here. Yeah. A Blake. It's probably a letter.

See you between the pages. When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and held captive for nine months. I survived, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the Survivor Files. I just remember this low, taunting world. voice next to my ear saying shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me.

I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to The Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, this is Hayes Davenport. And Sean Clements. We host the podcast Hollywood Handbook on the Big Money Players Network.

Our show is extremely accessible to first-time listeners. Each week, we talk to someone in show business, aka the biz, and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show. We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman, not that great. Actually, can you help me shape this? How about we flip it on his head, right? How about we flip this around? What is the surprise woman?

Actually, you think is the straight man is actually the one who's acting weird. Adam Scott. This entire time, you've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to the, visit the show. I would never expect. I would never set expectations for something like that to happen. If the universe allows for something like that

to happen, I'm open to it. I'm always going to accept. You know, Danny McBride, fine. Yeah, it's all this fragile masculinity exuding. I could smell it walking down the hallway, to be honest with you. I was like, I was like, is that weed? Nope, it's fragile masculinity.

Ben Stiller, no. Because a lot times out of context people don't get it or even know what a circle is you know what I mean like they're like oh what's just stupid everyone's so dumb except for you and fake right fake and also not interested or just like oh I've got my life I don't care about your life and a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us oh and by the way will feral told us personally he loves the show and he wants to be a guest on every episode but he's just so busy listen to hollywood Handbook on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.

All right. I've been concocting some pitches. We're entering a new era where there is left-wing energy among the voting base and no party that seems to be interested in taking advantage of. There's like little parts of the party. And so I just want to pitch some ideas for things that I think would be extremely successful if there was any political will so far we've covered, like just reiterating and focusing on every time the police

fuck up at their job, not just in a social justice way, but in a like Nancy Guthrie case way. We've talked about naming hurricanes after the billionaire energy executives. These are ideas that are out there, but it does feel like, just do it. It would be very popular.

People would love you for it. This next one is another one we've talked. about before, but I do think that it would be popular. I want to get you guys the thoughts. I think there's a way to approach golf that is like that, because we've talked before, that like golf courses are a great stand-in for the things that ail the country. They're like private, you're not allowed on. They're like the upper 1% of the population. And also in a lot of cases they are getting tax breaks so you're essentially like funding them with your tax money. My criticism of golf has also involved like me thinking that it's stupid, a bad sport.

People who play it look like shit and stuff like that. But I think there's a way to approach it. It's more bullying, really. You could cut it off after. But I think there's a way to approach it that appeals to people who hate golf like me. And also, like, the 99% of the population who like golf but can't afford to be a member at the most expensive private courses in wherever they live, you know, because it's like the current system involves them drinking up all the natural resources at a time when, like, we need water. Like, when you're landing in L.A. and you look around, there's like these little dots of green and it's just golf course. Like, that's the only place that has the, and you're also subsidizing those.

with your tax dollars. And in exchange, if you tried to play a game of golf on their course, they would have you arrested. And it's also like a lot of the times some of the best, like parkland around, which like in urban environments could be very valuable. What do we think? Sharks, this is my presentation to you. What do you think of this? I like it.

I think you should invoke the classic Caddyshack Slobs versus Snobbs approach. Yes. And like, hey, we're Rodney Dage. Oh, I know, Rodney Dage for that in that movie technically is like a wealthy, like, Pine Bear or something. Hey, we're the slops. He's Nouveau-Rish. He's Nouveau-Rish.

We're the slops and these goddamn snobs, like these Judge Smales types are ruining a beautiful gimmick golf. We got to take it back for the people, that type of thing. Make it, yeah, like a populist, you know, golf could be the people's game. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's the enough. If we have to send a gopher around or some kind of, you know, other zany hijinks that would

We'd like our favorite golf movie, so be it. I like the idea of turning it into a more productive space, like a private prison. You know, like maybe we could just turn them into private. A white car prison. A private prison. You can still view your beloved golf course through the bars.

I like that. Yeah, I like that a lot. Yeah. Good pitch. Good pitch. Thank you. Great. Writing it down.

All right. Let's, we do want a bit of fun farewell to Columbia House Records. They are shutting down. So this is big news for two reasons. They are shutting down and they somehow still existed, which shocking in both respects. So their offer was a dozen CDs for just one penny in the 90s. They have since been owned by various companies in recent years and made the switch to selling DVDs, apparently.

I was not aware of this, but before declaring bankruptcy in 2015, they were a, DVD operation. And they've just announced they're officially no longer accepting new orders. Man, I'm surprised they made it this long if their initial business model was 12 CDs for a penny. I know. You're saying they're ranking it in with that business model? So they were a dollar CD.

Like, it's not that big of a deal. They're actually way ahead of their time. So one thing that I knew that they did is like you pay the one cent. I was always too scared of my parents to do this. But, like, I had friends who paid the one cent, got the, you know, eight CDs. And then they would, it was, it was basically like how all subscription models work now, where you're like, oh, I'll go through and, you know, just say no to all the future offers or all, like, stop being a member. But what they would do is, like, they would send you a mailer and, like, keep sending you mailers.

of CDs that they were going to send you. And if you didn't say no and like put it back in the mail immediately, they would send it to you and you would be on the hook to buy those CDs. And then you would, and like those CDs were full price, which was actually like more expensive than the CDs in the stores. So essentially like the entire economy now of like subscription models where they like, yeah, you'll pay it'll seem like a good deal right now. It's kind of the entire model of like,

of tech companies too where it's like Uber is like we're gonna give you an amazing deal for like a year and then we're gonna fuck you over so hard that you're not even going to. The Uber of easy listening music. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

I'm looking at this adj and Columbia House brings you discs, discs, discs, discs, eight CDs for one cent. And it has Michael Jackson dangerous, Lucky Town. I don't know what the fuck that is. the Wayne's World soundtrack and Bonnie Rape.

Oh, good eyes. I cannot distinguish any of these other than the Wayne's World War. We used to be a country. We used to be a goddamn country. So they also saved money. The way they were able to do this was they didn't pay full royalties to publishers. And if a publisher complained, the clubs would just stop carrying that publisher's records. A mafia.

Yeah. And then they weren't even selling regular. albums that you'd find in stores, they would acquire the master tapes of records and press their own copies for cheap. That's cool. That is kind of impressive. I mean, I'm sure some collectors would love to have

the unaltered, unmixed. Right. Yeah. With, you know, with Stephen Tyler talking in the background. Right. Yeah, it just sounds like absolute shit. Yeah.

Yeah. The, like, you know, the cover art is like just to one side, like black and white. I mean, that's kind of the Taylor Swift business model now, just like selling recordings for like humming a song into a phone, you know? Uh-huh. Be like, this is Taylor's version, though. Yeah, exactly.

Stevenson. I wonder if they ran out of like circle, flat circles to sell was the problem where like they had CDs and then DVDs. And now the technology is shifted. They're like, well, we got into this for the flat circles. Yeah. And now we can't even fucking have that anymore. So why even have a company?

Light preservers, uninflated light preservers. What are those? Back to inflatable. Yeah. Yeah. It all comes back, people. It does. To the looking glass.

But yeah, one 1994 analysis of Columbia House of CDs found that their quality was actually much lower than one could find in a traditional record. I just find that so impressive that they were like stepping on, you know, like, a drug dealing term. Totally work. You're right. They're fucking baby powder in that shit. Yeah.

Wow. That's crazy. Yeah, people have so much gall and courage that I would never, I would never be able to do this. I know. It's so embarrassed to even propose this idea. But again, this is like what the entire economy has become, where it's just like, how do we, so we get them hooked with like a crazy seeming good deal.

And then like we find a way to charge them incredible amounts of money. going forward when they like forget about it just like bombard them with shit that they have to do but also make the product so much so much worse you need to fuck them over five or six different ways in order to have a business model yeah yeah and i guess this can't keep up with the modern grifting economy yeah as savvy as they used to be back in the 90s right they're being elapsed by any number of people right now yeah they yeah it was called this is such a great term where you would be locked into the company's model. It was called negative option billing,

the negative option billing model, which meant that they were signed up for monthly full-price orders unless they explicitly opted out. Crazy. And you end up being trapped into paying just over and over again for CDs that costs. I know so many people who were, this was like, they were like, I either need to disappear or I need to like come clean with my parents.

And like it's honestly 50-50 because I owe Columbia House $250. My parents are going to fucking kill me. Yeah, Mom, I just needed a Batman return to soundtrack. Yeah, right. So bad. You heard Kiss from a Rose. This is so hard for people to even like fathom that this was a thing that people did.

Yeah. Pay for music. Like why would any? anybody ever do that. But yeah. And it also like somehow didn't require a credit card. So they would, I don't know how they would get their hooks into you. I guess just through your address.

But that is where like people that one guy in New Jersey defrauded Columbia House and BMG out of 26,550 or no, sorry, 26,554 CDs after creating 2014 17 customer accounts at 16 post office boxes. Adaboy. That's awesome. I mean, the fact that they use the phrase defrauded in the news story makes me think that he was eventually caught. But, like, that guy should be allowed to do that. Like, if he did back is what he did.

Yeah, exactly. He threw a punch. The hero that we all deserve. Rock and roll hall of fame. I know. He stilled this album, 27,000 times. Joseph Parvin, who was 60 at the time. Ooh. No way.

Good for him. I love the music. That's a documentary right there. I know. Yeah. The cocaine fraternity and Joseph Harvin. That'll be the B-side for the cocaine doc. Yeah.

Django, such a pleasure having you. Thanks for having me, guys. I'm always so fun. Absolutely. You're hilarious. Where can people find you, follow you, see you, hear you, all that good stuff? You can follow me online.

On Instagram of Django Industries, one word. Django smelled like the movie hero. and if you want, if you live in New York, tomorrow night, Thursday at Greenpoint Comedy Club, me and my good buddy, J.P. McDade, are starting our monthly show there called Greenpoint Nights. The sexiest show in all of Brooklyn. Come see us.

It's going to be hilarious and very, very ironic. But not in a way that's weird or intimidating, intimidating to the people who come. Accessibly, accessible, erotic. That's a good motto right there. Unthreateningly erotic. Unthreatening, excessively erotic. Greenpoint nights. Amazing.

Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? Oh, yeah. Oh, man. Enjoying is not quite the right word, but I've been fixated on. And I really, I hate to have an AI work for this, because I know it's horrible all this, but this one's really, really kind of,

I can't stop watching it. Have you guys seen the AI video of Trump, J.D. Vance, Elon, and Marco Rubio, as like anonymous soldiers in a foxhole? No. I just dropped in the chat right there. It's just like the most uncanny, even by AI standards,

it's so uncanny, and just depicts the four of them, like just as soldiers with no real message other than we are soldiers now, fighting for you or something like that. And it's just the oddest fucking thing I've seen in a field of content that's already so odd.

So that's the thing I just can't stop thinking about is just a horrible, horrible AI clip. So it's created by them to, by like Trump supporters to be like. Some third, yeah, some third party.

Right. You know, Blue Check on Twitter. Hell yeah. Made this thing. God, it's so weird. Elon's voice just cracks me up.

God. He's amazing. Oh, God. It's a creator. Yeah, the post that goes with it is amazing. Gunther Eagleman, who said,

if I had to pick a foxhole, I'd want Trump, J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, and Elon Musk right there with me. How can you be fooled that profoundly? All of them. And no one else. The exact wrong people to having a foxhole with you. I respect the fight, the grit, and the belief that America is worth defending. That's what matters to me. Stand your ground, back your country. Keep showing up when it gets ugly. I'm not quitting on America. They've quit on

America so long ago. They're trying. Is Elon Musk even American citizen? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. All right, here we go. All right, enough with the picture taking. Yeah, that's right. Let's go. I'm glad to be in the foxhole with you, boys. Me too.

Oh, my God. I mean, the script writing was unbelievable. Wow. You're right. They've really captured Elon Musk's essence. Man. They did capture Ruby. I'm glad to be in the foxhole with you, you boys.

I mean, it starts out with a lie, which is like, oh, Trump hates having his photo taken. Right. Yeah, yeah. This is a guy who's all about business and not about personal publicity. That's right. From there, just gets it even sillier. Behind the scenes, President Trump. Yeah, that's right.

That's right. That's right. Amazing. Blake, where can people find you? Is there working media you've been enjoying? People can find me at Blake Wexler on all social media. I'll be doing stand-up at, Claude's Comedy Club in Philadelphia on November 27th, Empire Comedy Club in Portland, Maine on

January 14th and January 15th, the hideout in Boston. And then work of media. So any like animal, like, so the Des Moines Register, I think honestly, probably because I was watching all that field of dreams content, I probably got service where the Des Moines register posted a video of like a turkey calling contest. like their state fair and whenever i see humans making animal noises that are so fucking good you know there's nothing that makes me laugh hard so i just dropped it into the chat if you want to hear some grown men make turkey calls but yeah right up my alley so that is a piece of social

the way they put their whole body into it you know whole body yeah diaphragm whole body you'll never see diaphragms like you see on these men all right i'm gonna i'm gonna share it Are you guys ever to hear that? Yeah. The seriousness that they're bringing to this. These are... So I'm wondering why he gets a device. That's an Astros right there.

Yeah. That's first place. I thought the third place guy was in back. He gave his fucking props together. He came in first. The fix is definitely on that one. Blake, this is bullshit. I didn't judge.

the competition. I'm only presenting you the participants. I thought third play should have won. Yeah, third place definitely seemed like the guy who was committing his full body to the vet. I agree. Full body, full presence. He's got his posture in place. His loose cheeks. He loosened

his cheeks for this. Yeah. You can find... It's all two ours. I'm working on it. I prefer the child who does it. Yes. Because that...

I thought you're just saying, let's do the call of the child. And then I do a just completely accurate impression of your baby's cry. That freaked you out. I enjoyed working media. I've been enjoying... A lot of people, now that AOC broke up with her fiancé, a lot of people are pitching different people that she should go out with. And Jake Hasty and Kang suggested Marshawn Lynch.

Nice. I think that's the right move. That's the one. We got it. We nailed it. That's it. Book it. You can find me on Twitter, Jack underscore O'Brien. Blue Sky, Jack O underscore Brian. Blue Sky, Jack O.B., the number one. You can find us on Twitter on Blue Sky at Daily Zykeyes.
